An Etsy team called Boomers and Beyond or BBEST for short, are having a new swap challenge this month is to create an ACEO with the theme entitled….. Spring!
I love sitting back to see what comes out of the woodwork. Truly inspirational pieces are being created in all manner of mediums. The excitement is always that each person who contributed is given a name of their swapee but they do not know who will be sending them an ACEO. To remind readers, an ACEO has only one rule. That is, it has to measure 3.5” x 2.5”. It can be created in any medium. You will note there are glass based ones, fabric, painted ones. The list is endless.
What did I create? Well, under the name of Precious Quilts I decided to create an ACEO depicting Spring in the form of the sun shining down on some pretty flowers made with cute little buttons I had in my stash. For the centres of the flowers I added some seed beads to enhance the image.
Oh yes! I love butterflies and have one in my avatar on Etsy so, of course, I had to include a pretty pink one to complete my picture composition!
Now, I urge you to follow this link to see the other ACEOs offered for the March BBEST swap.
Hard to choose my favourite and even harder is the waiting and wondering which ACEO I will be lucky enough to receive!
